Hi Stephan, it has been indeed a long time.... To much work for few people... and I'm a kind of 'single point of failure' for our linux environment. That's why I'm still stuck with RHEL6. I've put an exclude in the repo file: exclude=kmod-openafs-1.6.16-1.3.18* And during kickstart I exclude the package with yum -x kmod-openafs-1.6.16-1.3.18* (haven't tested this one yet...)
